Tom Brady’s eventual move to the broadcast booth with Fox will reportedly come with some significant financial consequences for current top analyst Greg Olsen.
According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Olsen will be knocked down to the No. 2 analyst spot at the network when Brady, who announced his retirement at the start of this month, decides to begin his on-air role. While that had been widely anticipated, Olsen will also take a drastic salary cut as a result of Brady’s move.
Marchand reports that Olsen will see his annual salary at Fox drop from $10 million to $3 million when he falls to the No. 2 role. If Brady had taken over this spot this year, Olsen’s contract would have gone from $50 million over the next five years to $22 million.
